Twenty years ago I was healed of train sickness in its worst form. I never attempted to eat from the time I started on a journey until I arrived at my destination, no matter how many days it took. There was not a member of our family who wanted to travel with me, or who was willing to be responsible for me. This seemed a calamity, as we traveled much of the time. I was then very thin, in fact emaciated. In six weeks after commencing treatment from a Christian Science practitioner, I gained twenty pounds and was able to take the trip from Boston to Washington, District of Columbia, feeling better than I had ever felt before, and eating heartily in the dining car. On all of my former trips I was unable to sit up, and was often carried from the train in a state of collapse. I have been healed of so many things that it would not be possible to mention them all. Extreme nervousness, constipation resulting from paralysis of the lower rectum, sick headaches which lasted sometimes weeks, neuralgia constant disposition to take cold, rheumatism of the feet, chronic indigestion, and sore throat have been overcome. I was healed of mumps simply by reading our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. About four years ago I was healed through the help of a practitioner of concussion of the brain, the result of an automobile accident. Jealousy, impatience, and fear of the immediate future have also disappeared.
I was never before religiously inclined but have learned to love the Bible, through Mrs. Eddy's writings. I study the Lesson-Sermon in The Christian Science Quarterly each week, and derive a great deal of good from the Journal, the Sentinel, and the Monitor, and do not know what I should do without them.
I am indeed thankful to God and grateful to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and to all who have helped me on my way; also for class instruction, which has been a great benefit to me.— Melrose, Massachusetts.
